pre-k
DS attends "pre-k" 5 mornings a week at DH's request. Otherwise...
Math-misc. lessons as he shows interest, right now he's counting to 100, I'm thinking of introducing skip counting once he can identify numbers up to 100 on sight. No particular curriculum though.
Reading-The Reading Lesson
Religion-Faith and Life Grade 1--there is no Kindergarten version that I can find, so we'll probably go slow focusing on prayers b/c that is what he seems most interested in.
DS sometimes listens in on science, history, and geography. He's picked up quite a bit from just being in the room doing other things.

We school from Jan to Nov/Dec. This year we're running a bit late and should be ending by next week for our Winter Break. I'm hoping to start back up Jan 7, but we'll be moving just after Christmas so that's a tentative date. With that said, here's the plan for January:

9 yo- 4th grade
Continue MCTLA- Grammar Level plus the Alice, Peter and Toad books
Spelling Workout D
Math Mammoth 3a and Beast Academy 3a
Check the Deck (writing)
Zaner Bloser 4

7 yo- 2nd grade
Learning Language Arts Through Literature, Red Book
How to Spell 2
Math Mammoth 2a
Evan Moor Daily Handwriting, Manuscript

Both:
*Continue with Story of the World, Ancients- I'm using the schedule from Classical House of Literature and utilizing a SOTW Lapbook with the 7 yo.
*Geography via lapbooks, Top Secret Adventures and living books
*Intellego Astronomy Unit Study. Once we complete that, I have some Magic School Bus science kits I'd like to finally utilize.
*Get back to Song School Latin and start Minimus Latin. I'd rather do these separately, as in SSL for the 7 yo and Minimus for the 9 yo, but I know they both like SSL.
